As I said in the other thread, and this is a quote::
So they are transferring FFXI payment system to the same system that FFXIV is going to use which is Click and Buy/Crysta method. As stated in many posts::
C&B has a bad reputation.
Some only have C&B as an options
Come countries don't have ANY option
Some countries don't have the UltimatePay cards
Some countries can't use Paypal in conjunction due to issues.
So obviously people are unhappy about it. So, as you can see, this IS a current issue for the FFXI players who are very unhappy about this... and unfortunately a issue that we as FFXIV players will have to face as well.
If people who play FFXI are already having issues, don't you think maybe we should get it solved now so we don't have to do through the same thing.
I don't understand why some wanna wait until the last minute (because it's not an issue at this exact moment since its F2P) to try and fix an issue several people have already said IS an issue. How can a person play without ANY payment options? How can a person play if their bank is telling them NOT to use C&B and that is their ONLY option?
So since we aren't paying at this exact moment we shouldn't be concerned and try to fix it now, so those who have no way of paying period WILL have options when it does come to P2P time?
Regardless of if we are paying at the moment or not, it is an issue that needs to be fixed so people CAN play when SE does start charging.
